145k diesel

Rossy.

Looking at viewing a Renault Laguna Diesel later

It's done 146k

Cambelt done 3k ago. Full service history etc.

Should i be concerned at the mileage ? Never failed an m.o.t and next one due next year.

Beware the electrical systems. I personally would not worry about the engine, providing it has been serviced properly.

MY VW golf diesel has just gone over 125k. New clutch and Duel Mass Flywheel yesterdy. £932. Bushes last month £100. Some injection part last month £200.

The engine these days are fine, but be aware major parts wear out.

I would check what has already worn out and been replaced.

Its obaviously going to be cheap due to the milage, but you really want to see a list of things that have been replaced over time.

Most important thing being the brakes would have been replaced/serviced a number of times over that period of milage.

145,000-miles in most cars is acceptable these days, especially a diesel. Given this one appears to have been well looked after I really don't think you have anything to worry about.

I'd be more concerned about it being a Laguna...

My Peugeot 405 did 235k before I 'scrappaged' it.

If it is the 1.9dci engine leave well alone they are !!!!!!.turbo failure very common resulting in car grinding to a halt in cloud of smoke and noise,engine normally ingests broken bits of compressor wheel.
If it is the 2.0 they are a better engine but do suffer with dual mass flywheel failure which can be as much as £1k to put right.

As said the 1.9 DCi engine is a well known hand grenade of a lump, they go through turbos, the injection system goes pop.

I like the look of Lagunas, always have, but I would only ever have a petrol.

My 04 plate MK3 Mondeo TDCi is now at 145000 and running fine. I fully expect to get 250k out of it. Next week its doing a 600 mile round trip to Wales to watch the WRC. Like the 1400 mile round trip to France, it'll get a cursory check of oil and water and that'll be it.

I'd be much more concerned with the badge on the back than the mileage.
